Now if we could just get him off this planet we could all breathe a collective sigh of relief.

 

[Lmo911]

Waiting on that other shoe to drop though...

Not yet he is still there seems to be a show honestly.

 

[Navidson REC]

Seems like an overreaction.

LOL.

Thanks, needed that laugh.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

4:Bannon remains chief strategist for POTUS and an adviser on nat'l security/for. affairs

So, good news, bad news then.

 

[radios shipping overview]

My reaction:

So what dirt about Bannon is about to drop?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Their explanation is bizarre. They appointed someone to the council to monitor someone else they appointed because they knew he had issues?

Yeah, as usual, the official line is a weird contradictory mess that nobody on either side will entertain beyond a "Spicer has to say it" formality.

 

[zethren]

GOOD LORD, this is the best.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Things are happening.

 

[Zyae]

So they all knew Flynn had issues and yet STILL put him in a sensitive position. Quality leading there Trump.

Or its a spin

 

[MIMIC]

Excellent news.

 

[Nobility]

Excellent.

Step by step.

 

[Truckondo2.0]

ISIS did release that statement about the US being run by an idiot. Trump probably saw that and demoted Bannon.

 

[Surfinn]

I've got a bad feeling about this..

(good)

 

[jon bones]

has there been any smoke around Bannon & Russia?

 

[Tallshortman]

They purposely put a guy who had such significant issues he required a babysitter on the NSC? Sounds about right.

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

Their explanation is bizarre. They appointed someone to the council to monitor someone else they appointed because they knew he had issues?

That was surreal to read. At least Bannon's off the NSC, but he still has access to the two strongly opposing forces: Trump and intelligence.

 

[cackhyena]

The other shoe dropping is it's already being bandied about that Bannon was only there to keep check on Flynn. Now that he's out, Bannon is no longer needed.

Oh, it's already being talked about.

 

[RustyNails]

Well bye.gif

 

[radios shipping overview]

has there been any smoke around Bannon & Russia?

Not much that I've seen. He seems like he's kept his distance from the well-known group who've been involved with Russia.

 

[LiK]

Good.

Such a bizarre spin

 

[radios shipping overview]

What does he mean by "operationalize"? I doubt it's this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operationalization

 

[guek]

What does that even mean

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

I agree.
Why was Bannon still there the last two months then?

NEW: Bannon's national security clearance was NOT stripped, I'm told. He still has the highest clearance.

 

[jmdajr]

Oh yeah?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Filing this under: "taking credit for something you were supposed to do"

 

[A Serious Man]

What does that even mean

"Hey everyone, look over here at Susan Rice!"

 

[Duane Cunningham]

He was only there to keep an eye on Flynn. The guy who resigned SEVEN WEEKS AGO.

 

[RepairmanJack]

The spin they're putting on this is absolutely hilarious. You might as well say "You will believe anything we say so just fill in the blanks yourself."

 

[shawnbuddy]

Big L for the Trumpster.

I guess Susan Rice is going to be the scary black person they blame everything on from now on. Spilled your soup? Thanks Susan Rice!

 

[radios shipping overview]

Did somebody leave their cookies in the oven? I smell something burning.

 

[mjc]

Either I haven't had nearly enough coffee today, or this is making no sense after reading it five times over.

Oh, it's already being talked about.

With Flynn and Bannon both dismissed, how will Trump's foreign policy be different? Besides the apocalyptic Islamophobia hopefully being gone, can we expect him to pivot away from Syria and Russia? Maybe a more traditionally pro-Saudi, pro-Israel, anti-Iran stance not confused by support for non-Western interests?

 

[Ovid]

This doesn't change anything. He's still one of Trump's top aides.

 

[Simon Belmont]

He was only there to keep an eye on Flynn. The guy who resigned SEVEN WEEKS AGO.

"We all knew Flynn had huge issues to the point of apparently needing a babysitter, but we just said 'fuck it' and put him there anyways"

 

[Skellig Gra]

Never went to a meeting? That's a very interesting revelation.

 

[kess]

Thanks, Susan!

 

[Fancyarcher]

He was only there to keep an eye on Flynn. The guy who resigned SEVEN WEEKS AGO.

Of course if Trump had anything to hide he wouldn't have put Bannon on NSC just to watch Flynn, now would he? Not suspicious at all.

 

[Blader]

They knew Flynn had issues and put Bannon on the NSC to keep an eye on him specifically, yet every mean word ever spoken about Flynn is fake news bullshit and hey whoever leaked that needs to go to jail?

This fucking White House.

 

[mclem]

Same official says the president made the decision, this was the deal from the beginning, and "we all knew Flynn had issues"

"But what the hell, we did it anyway. YOLO!"

 

[GaimeGuy]

Still waiting for the impeachment charges on Trump (the appointmemt of banon was illegal)

 

[rjinaz]

Big L for the Trumpster.

I guess Susan Rice is going to be the scary black person they blame everything on from now on. Spilled your soup? Thanks Susan Rice!

totally not racist though, let's just be clear. Complete coincidence they find this target ignoring all the mostly White ones.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

This doesn't change anything. He's still one of Trump's top aides.

Probably, yeah.

 

[King_Moc]

That's not even a fucking word.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

Too bad lying from day 1 of this administration has stripped them of all credibility. Susan Rice is in the news this week and has been the right wing boogeyman since Benghazi... It sounds to me more like a BS excuse.

On top of all that, they want to somehow say that they KNEW Flynn was dirty but instead of removing him, they were keeping an eye on him?

Makes. no. sense.

 

[Strike]

Good. Now get him out of this administration.

 

[smokeymicpot]

This doesn't change anything. He's still one of Trump's top aides.

Yup just a show.
